Can anyone verify the FIFA status of the USA-Norway game (Jan 29, 2006). I seem to recall some controversy around that game over Lando's USMNT goal totals.

I remember reading something yesterday about it being ruled an official friendly. I can't see to find the link now though. The FIFA website has it as a friendly

I'm pretty sure that it was the Denmark friendly (Jan 20, 2007) that had the controversy...and FIFA ruled that it was an "A" match (exhibit A for the USSF was the contract with Denmark stating that it would be, Donovan's 35 goal tally stands)...I don't think the Norway match you speak of was ever in question.
